    Well, the prime minister, the finance minister and the head of defense all have said similar things over there in Israel. At some point you have to believe that what they are saying and their actions are speaking for themselves and their words and actions are saying “no one is innocent and even if they were we are still going to kill them all so we can get the land.”

      I mean, it’s kinda like judging America based on Pat Robertson, the Westboro Baptist Church, Steve Bannon, Steve Miller, and Trump.

      Yes, we should beleive people like Trump when they say how awful they are. The fact that he was elected and is the presumptive Republican nominee says a lot about the American right, right now. But it definitely doesn’t mean that Americans in general are awful people.

        Are these people:

        Pat Robertson, the Westboro Baptist Church, Steve Bannon, Steve Miller, and Trump.

        Currently in charge?

        Because Ben Gvir, Smotrich, and Bibi Netanyahu are all literally in charge of the country commiting genocide right now.

          What’s the purpose of that “currently”? Because if you meant that what’s in the past is less real, it’s not. Just removed from us by one coordinate.

            It means there was a majority of people who decided these people shouldn’t be in charge after witnessing what they did when they were in charge?

              That wasn’t the case when they were in charge, obviously.
